Gamete formation without meiosis in Arabidopsis.

Nature - 28 Feb 2008

Ravi Maruthachalam, Marimuthu Mohan P A, Siddiqi Imran

Abstract excerpt

Apomixis, the formation of asexual seeds in plants, leads to populations that are genetically uniform maternal clones. The transfer of apomixis to crop plants holds great promise in plant breeding for fixation of heterozygosity and hybrid vigour because it would allow the propagation of hybrids o...
